The Indians could make some more moves if they want to continue stockpiling prospects. Other teams would have interest in players like Chris Perez, Rafael Perez, Joe Smith, and Fausto Carmona, while Cleveland would "love to trade" Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner.
What do you guys think the trade value on Sizemore would be? He is coming off two down seasons, and he has been hurt. Here are his stats the last 4 years:

07: 162 G, .277 AVG, .390 OBP, .462 SLG, 24 HR, 78 RBI, 101 BB, 155 K, 33 SB
08: 157 G, .268 AVG, .375 OBP, .502 SLG, 33 HR, 90 RBI, 98 BB, 130 K, 38 SB
09: 106 G, .248 AVG, .343 OBP, .445 SLG, 18 HR, 64 RBI, 60 BB, 92 K, 13 SB
10: 33 G, .211 AVG, .271 OBP, .289 SLG, 0 HR, 13 RBI, 9 BB, 35 K, 4 SB

He is making nearly 8 million I believe.

What would it take for someone to land Sizemore from the Indians?

If he could ever return to 07-08 form I'd love to have him, but until I can see him actually produce and stay healthy, I want nothing to do with him.

What kind of injury did he even have in 09 and last year? He was awesome pretty much every year until he got hurt. In 06 he hit .290 with 28 HR's and even in 05 he hit .289 with 22 HR's. He is only 27 years old as well.

He would be an upgrade over Carlos Gomez as well.

He can't hit breaking balls, he is a dead pull hitter, and he tries to hit everything out of the park.. He's good for defense and nothing else.

I'd like to have Sizemore, great defensive player. Just needs to get more consistent hitting and also needs to stay healthy, that's been a real problem.

With the injuries, his trade value is down. If I was Cleveland, I'd hang on to him and let him play in CF. Let Sizemore show off what he can still do and build his value back up and them move him at the deadline.

If he could ever stay healthy, he might be a better player. He always seems to try to do too much and that just rarely results in success. I don't think they could get all that much trade value, because of the injuries and not many teams would want to take that risk, but i'm sure some team will try it.
